Running an 2013 access db that lives on a network drive with up to 10 users. All users were running windows 7. This has been working well for the last couple of years until users were upgraded to windows 10.

Now we are getting the error message "Microsoft Access has detected that this database is in an inconsistent state, and will attempt to recover the database."

I am able to recover the database and have not lost any data. We may go a few days without the error and then may have a problem with it two or three times in one day. Have experienced this error after monthly patch updates were installed.

What are the options to eliminate this error?

I wanted to split the database but cannot put it on the local drive of my LT. It would have to stay on a network drive. Is that possible?

YES!!!!!You would never allow several people to drive your car at once as it would crashSimilarly NEVER allow users to share a database - it will at some point become irretrievably corrupted and unuseableIndeed that may have already happened to some of your data.

You should split any production database with multiple users. Backend on a shared network driveEach user MUST have their own copy of the frontend on their own hard drive - NOT on a NETWORK drive

This is an URGENT PRIORITY. Until that is in place, BACKUP several times each day just in case.
